To celebrate Alaska’s new service, the carrier is offering $59* fares on flights from San Diego to Fresno and Monterey; and $69* fares on flights between San Diego and Santa Rosa, and between San Jose and Reno. Tickets must be purchased by Jan. 25 and can be used for travel from June 5 through July 18, 2012. Visitwww.alaskaair.com to purchase a ticket or call 1-800-ALASKAAIR (1-800-252-7522 or TTY/TDD line 1-800-392-0228).

The new routes will be operated for Alaska by Horizon Air using 76-seat Bombardier Q400s. Travelers will enjoy Horizon’s award-winning onboard service, which includes complimentary Starbucks coffee, soft drinks, and (for passengers 21 and older) wines and microbrews.
Horizon Air’s Q400 turboprop is among the most environmentally friendly regional aircraft, burning 30 to 40 percent less fuel, producing an equally lower amount of emissions and generating 10 decibels less noise than comparable jets.
